Is it better to buy a book or buy an e reader that has books?

I love reading. But lately I've been so busy I can't even go to the library and get books anymore. Is the "nook" or " kindle" worth it? Is there another device that does what those devices do.
But I just want to know if I do buy one of those do I have to purchase the actual books in it? Because that will be very expensive.

But then again. I'm gonna miss having the actual book with me. You know it's actually better to have the actual book instead of reading it on a tablet of some kind. But books can get too bulky and soon I'll have my own library. LOL!

-if I get the nook/kindle do I have to purchase books or do I get an unlimited choice?
-is it better to own the book or read it on a device? (Just out of curiousity)

How to start a charity?

The other day I was in my local Barnes and noble and there was this girl who was looking at an ACT prep book and her grandmother had to say no because they didn't have money and I don't know why but the girls face just broke my heart. You could see the sadness in her eyes. Anyways that gave me an idea to start a charity or something. Maybe I could collect ACT and SAT prep books and give them to those in need? Or what would be another good idea? I don't know why but after that day I completely changed. I want to do good in the world. I need an idea of what to donate. Something like clothes has been done, I want something unique that people in need cant afford. Something easy to collect and something easy to ship to people. My problem is I have no idea where to start. Any advice? Thanks

Desperately seeking advice on job situation?

I have been working in my current position for about a 8 months. It was a steep learning curve with a lot of things to learn, you do not come in knowing how the company functions. Much of the training is on the job and I think I didn't learn as quickly as my boss had wanted and nowadays I know he talks about that to leadership. But I finally got there - now I know pretty much everything to get whatever advanced level work done. It is at this very point that he tells me he is planning on hiring 2 new people, both in positions advanced to mine. I sat there and thought to myself why spend all that time teaching me? There were many times when he has admitted his expectations were off but this time it is downright ridiculous. He requested to have someone with no experience and then 8 months down the line is upset that it took me almost 9 months to figure things out.

Now I want to know if it is time to leave the company. The things I learned are not paying off and I feel I will be pigeonholed into this position for the long haul. As oppose to learning all of the nooks and moving up to something different I am going to continue being the person who does the "nooks." I did not want this and I am literally just depressed after learning of this and don't know what I did to deserve it. I have spent every weekend and many nights over the past 5 months getting myself to this place and putting my work first. This is the reward I get. Should I talk with boss or leave company?

Are my rights being violated?

I am 22 years old, Ive worked EMS for 4 years now and I currently live with my parents while funneling what revenue i can towards college. To that end my parents allow me to remain on their phone plan.

The phone plan has an excessively strict web guard that prevents access to any forum, networking, job searching, gaming, social, browser access to YouTube, etc. Sites that can be researched are limited to email and mobile version of YouTube. The web guard is through T-Mobile and is intended for users under 18. When I asked why I couldnt access sites such as Barnes and Nobles and Books a Million I was told they were not going to negotiate restrictions or come down on their morals.

To be clear, I am not someone who has malicious intent and if I did I probably would be smart enough to get my own plan.

I do feel that they would try to prevent me from getting my own phone plan which is where the question comes in. How much control does a parent have over their childs life at this age? I am not intending this to sound rebellious or whiney but when I cant even make a linkedin page for career advancement because its supposedly immoral I cant help but feel like Im being wronged here.

I do not wish to disrespect or dishonor my parents in any way and i am truly grateful for the help that they provide. Any advice is apreciated.

Learning Japanese easily?

I am an above-average intelligence for a 14-year-old and I was hoping to learn Japanese. Japanese is a quite challenging language. I would like to learn it to be able to understand the animes I watch without subs (I think it would be fun) and it would be useful to learn at this age instead of later on, in case I need to use it later in life. I have tons of time on my hands and I thought, "Why not do something useful with it?' I tried watching non-subbed anime I was unfamiliar with but that did nothing, as I don't know anything about the language. I'm American, and I don't know anyone who fluently speaks the language. My friend also wants to learn the language so I was thinking we could collaborate and speak to each other in Japanese when we can, try to write it, and so on. Are there any alternative ways to learn that we could use to up our knowledge? For example, how does the grammar work? The letters? Might there be some workbooks at a Barnes and Nobles? I would look for something not too terrifyingly hard, as I do have ADHD and will not be able to focus for long amounts of time. Are there strategies to use so I won't have to focus a bunch, or just soak it in? If not, I'll be open to it anyways! Thanks! :)
Added (1). I realize my grammar was incorrect in the first sentence. *have

so don't get me wrong, I aint no fruit. I'm a very fit 19 year old college kid and usually am pretty good with the girls. Buttttttt… This girl at Barnes and Noble today.
So I'm an avid Stephen King reader, and I was there studying today and doing my homework, on my way out I picked up Stephen's latest novel and went to check out.
the girl that was checking me out was pretty cute, and she was all like "OMG I love Stephen King" and we started talking about his books and stuff. Totally hit it off.
When we made eye contact it was like woah, total chem between us. She asked for my name and got hers, but I didn't ask for her number because, I know I uncomfortable it is being hit on and stuff when I'm at work.
Anyways I told her study there a lot and I'd definable be seeing her around, and she was all like "OMG awesomeness." (in more proffessional words.) so yeah. Like usually I'm not nervous about girls, but something about her has me all funny feeling haha.
so yeah, like. Advice? Am I in love? Or am I just like ecstatic to meet a cute girl with a lot of similar interests?
